I accessed its HDD using automount. I looked around, figured out I already had everything I needed, su'ed to root & poweroff'ed, *before* the automount on this box had a chance to unmount the HDD from the other box. This got me an error message in my messages file, but nothing else, except that whenever I do a 'df' since (which would show the automounted HDD's from other boxen), the process hangs & I have to kill the (rxvt) terminal & start another one. I explicitly unmounted the offending HDD w/ 'umount -f', but still no joy. How do I get this fixed short of rebooting (if possible) ? TIA & have a good one.
